[@thefool2007]

This is superb music played by enormously gifted and talented musicians of world-class caliber.

[@Mina-ok5qm]

I'm so thankful that these performances are available to watch whenever we want. Such a treat

[@371francis]

What an amazing time to be growing up. How I miss the 70's and its music.

[@wendyeyles3560]

BOSS HOGG Same here. So much amazing talent in those days, so much variety and every band had its own sound.

[@jimallison6292]

Oh how this music takes one back when all was well and life was just oustanding.

[@eddiebrophy503]

The wonder of it all baby.

[@anthonydickinson5913]

My youth, with my parents, long hot summers, whiter snow and innocence...❗️❗️❗️❗️💋 Miss you all soo much😓

[@daisuke4bleach]

linda has one of the prettiest female voices

[@isabelwidera1366]

The voices and melody (+instruments) of BLUEBIRD have something so v e r y special - it's PURE MAGIC :) !!!!

[@bonnogeerse297]

I love Joe English' drumming so much. He brings enormous taste in McCartney's sound and swings as hell. The best drummer of Wings

[@burgofichakia]

bonno geerse excelente.. lo mismo pienso

[@lindadonofrio8314]

This is one of my all-time favorite performances from Rock show. His beautiful voice, that face, the whole seventies mullet too...

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

The only person in the history of mankind who looks good with a mullet.

[@michaela998]

bluebird live is so beautiful.

[@thebeatles6484]

Michaela Leone better than the original.

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Michaela Leone great song, from a great album. My favorite Wings album, "Band on the Run". It took me through 4 years 1973-1977 in the United States Marine Corps. Camp LeJeune, NC to Okinawa Japan, Camp Foster and back to Camp LeJeune, NC.

[@lol-dn6nx]

Some of the happiest music around!

[@raindrops21_9]

This man's output is colossal, phenomenal. Man? What am I saying? He is a musical god.

[@kansaspeach7727]

Now THAT is good live music....and THAT is Paul McCartney!! (Clarinet!!!)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@drewwalker9762]

This was such a great band, Wings circa 1976. Even their rehearsals are insanely tight. Four great musicians with Linda singing harmony.

[@Gusclassicrockchannel]

Just one of the best musicians ever, I mean, no?

[@Swizzenator]

Not even a doubt.

[@jjs490]

Awsome live version of Blue Bird here.. unbelievable, live too ...great harmonies awesome Melody plus Linda sounds very good in this Performance... such a beautiful song anyway.

[@paulh6591]

"Take it away, Thaddeus!"

[@JackThomas-t4m]

Best paul solo period

[@garryburrows8987]

he did some beautiful music with wings ☺

[@qzigenfus4543]

They truly, truly do not make music like this anymore .. Wings had more soul in their pinkie than ALL of today's music, combined .. Thanks KZbin

[@johnschwarzkopf]

'They' absolutely do make music like this today, you just chose to stop seeking it out. You're doing a disservice to all the great musicians today if you let top 40 represent "today's music." Hell, most of the year-end Billboard top 100 chart toppers of 1976 are completely forgettable and objectively bad (with the exception of Silly Love Songs...). It's silly and myopic to believe that, after 200,000 years of human history, the pinnacle of human musical achievement happened in 1976.

[@pp-ff6bk]

can't stop to watch this performance

[@nicolasklisich8660]

bluebird such a great song such a great live version with superb vocal harmonies !!!

[@frankabler]

Wow, what a ripping performance on Listen to What the Man Said!!!

[@lindadonofrio8314]

Paul at his most beautiful

[@jjs490]

linda donofrio I have to agree.... such a romantic sexy song.... ..

[@En3usiast]

Great songs played to perfection...... Linda made a real contribution to the performance.....her voice added that extra dimension to the harmonies......and she engaged with the audience in a big way.....

[@pierce_anderson01]

76 was a great time for Wings!

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

Band on the Run was the best Paul McCartney and Wings best album.

[@carolknight9085]

Wings and Stevie and the beatles are the very best live!

[@turquisestones]

This is my favorite Wings line-up

[@lindadonofrio8314]

Beautiful voice, beautiful face, the beautiful Rockshow-era Paul

[@lisalentile177]

I would love so much to see Paul in concert love him to pieces long live paul

[@nyneegardner6235]

I am going to see him live in San Diego in June...Cannot wait!

[@Joie4886]

Bluebird is a sexy song... :o

[@EvanCameronMusic]

I am a fan of Nancy, Pauls new wife but nobody will beat Linda. She clearly made him very happy! And don't get me started on Heather, she was a nut job. But Linda seemed really good for Paul.

[@NatsukiChrDDLC]

Evan Cameron e

[@jamesdunn9714]

Heather was a user. Linda was his true love as I hope Nancy is.

[@Swizzenator]

Evan Cameron Come on man. Heather was da BOMB. OK I'll MINE my own beez wax.

[@pedro19611969]

Best mullet playing musician ever

[@thebeatles6484]

Rudy Overlord true

[@brgreg8725]

Rudy Overlord McCartney wins! Love Bowie but nothing tops Lennon or McCartney!

[@sherwinvillena3628]

Avery pretty of Linda maccartney and sweet smiles in her face wow so pretty

[@innersoundz]

W Paul McCartney,forever.

[@김깝십-u2j]

Genius.....

[@mickavellian]

Well it is clear here than Linda was NOT a Yoko leech. Never noticed what wonderful harmonies she puts into this. So what is it now? Paul has written 500+ songs in all possible styles and voice ranges.. But JOHN was the man ......? "The working class hero" with the beret and the white Rolls . Like John would have said "it is just a BLOODY song" Same with "Imagine" . It is a FOOKING song nothing deep about it , I just wanted to write me a swimming pool" I wonder when John STOPPED loving what he did and became a anything for money embarrassment. Perhpas when Paul became a an artist for the ages and lennon could not aspire to that.

[@laco4275]

mickavellian well said, sir - I'm with you

[@zim1966]

saw this tour at Olympia stadium in detroit Man still the high watermark of shows for me

[@estebanjavierolguinavila4646]

Paul GENIO y figura grande

[@qstqrt]

[@colinratford416]

[@RussCampbell11]

Love Wings

[@김깝십-u2j]

I try not to say that the live version is better than the original, but this is an exception.

[@Marilyn88-]

Paul is a genius...🎼🎵🎶🎸

[@supermasterPIK]

3:48 Great song. I knew it for 1987 Greatest Hits PM´s Album,

[@brgreg8725]

The fact that this guy was just a part (albeit huge part) of a band is astonishing!

[@reginaceli5392]

Sans parler des chansons, super qualité de son et d'image. T'as trouvé ça où?

[@JackoJim123]

My apologies. Alto in Bluebird, Soprano in Listen To the Man.

[@eduardomasangcay5441]

@ his best 1976

[@joeyjennings9548]

3:44 listen..

[@joeyjennings9548]

3:44 Finally.. lol

[@LuisMorales-gn1fc]

I need to know the name of that sax player pleaseeee

[@zim1966]

howy casey I do believe

[@scottdouglasmaclachlan4792]

Nope! It's Thaddeus Richard (aka Pete Richard and a few others). At 5:12, McCartney says, "Take it away, Thaddeus!" I met Pete when he was sitting in with an LA funk band I was in, around 1980. We became pretty good friends, and he played soprano sax on an artist demo of mine soon after. Two takes, and that was all I needed, he was that good. You can hear the difference in the mic proximity during his solo, but both takes were flawless. Here's my demo - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZqTZpx8etNna6c Here's his discography. www.discogs.com/artist/712607-Thaddeus-Richard

[@MrBiggoolie]

At 5:12, McCartney says, "Take it away, Thaddeus!" ...Yep...on a clarinet.

[@scottdouglasmaclachlan4792]

I'd beg to politely differ, Paul. The poster of this video noted in a comment some 6 years ago, "Wings brass section in 1976:Tony Dorse -Trombone ,Howie Casey- Alto Sax, Thaddeus Richard -Soprano Sax & Steve Howard-Trumpet." Clarinet was my first instrument, and they're typically made from several types of African blackwood ebony (woodwinds), vs. soprano saxes, which are obviously in the brass family. The clarinet and soprano sax sound very much alike, but the wood of the clarinet has a slightly warmer tone. Not so oddly, Pete's/Thaddeus's credited as playing both the clarinet and saxophone, but going off what sure looks like brass to me, I'd call it a soprano sax. Apologies, if I'm coming off as *mister always right guy*, but he's a natural soloist, with some great chops. :)

[@JesseTheMindless]

And later on, Joe English lost his mind.

[@JackoJim123]

That's an Alto Sax, not a Soprano.

[@jackmaxwell1997]

excuse me "is"

[@sonsofdon]

who is that on soprano sax?

[@Swizzenator]

@Joy Stinson You know poor ol Don who you replied to is prolly long been passed n gone. He was a lovely soul. But without a reply from him we will never know WTF happened to the old fker ha ha.

[@MiFFity81]

Paul died that is the replacement and he is good

[@76russell]

pish. thats not willy campbell. it actually is sir paul

[@NatsukiChrDDLC]

H and M Chesneys lol .replacement? what are you, 12?

[@MiFFity81]

hatsune miku 7⃣ Nope and I ain't Japanese either.

[@demonweber666]

tempo got away from the drummer,by halfway it sounds like the wrong speed

[@jackmaxwell1997]

paul died?? but they found someone who looks, sings, plays a right handed guitar, and has the same mannerisms as paul. ya not a bullshit fan story. he died and shears isnt a made up fantasy band go'er

[@Melissajoe816]

drummer shoves tempo thru Man Says .. wow. kind of pushy. would not reuse that guy.

[@kennethmarshall306]

I like the speeding up. It adds to the excitement. Like a runaway vehicle

[@pbrick6301]

Linda looks too "zonked out" or whatever to perform live. Kind of unproffessional if you ask me.

[@thebeatles6484]

pbrick6301 She is originally a photographer and Paul thought that Linda had a nice voice.

[@Dons066]

B.S. ! You can clearly hear that Linda is singing harmony live here !
